steve silverman is: nick naylor

There's a pool being set up for bets on what Steve Silverman will do for a living after he loses the primary. My own guess is he'll become a lobbyist, probably working for Larry Shulman's law firm. And his biggest clients will be dvelopers (natch), oil companies, and cigarette manufacturers. In recent years Steve has taken positions favorable to all those groups. And what's your best guess?

Well, if Silverman loses, I'd put my money on him becoming a lobbyist too. He'd speak for all the Evil Corporations - Ryan Homes, ExxonMobil and Philip Morris - and, if he's lucky, they'll even make a movie about his eventual change of heart.

Now, which other County figures would make good movie characters? I'd like to know. I want to give Anonymous Commenter #217 his time's worth.
